Both the Origami and Calligraphy Course include a tea ceremony

Experience the process of grinding tencha, the original source of matcha in a stone mortar to make the powdered green tea.
Since the yield of powdered matcha grinding is modest, the matcha used in the ceremony is prepared in advance.
Pour hot water into the matcha and use a chasen to make it, then enjoy your own roasted matcha with chagashi Japanese confectionery.
